Help!

Can anyone suggest a way to rid my little garden of these pests? They
are EVERYWHERE! Every stone I move, every leaf I look under, they're
even in the house! What/how much damage are they doing? Am I right to
blame them for the fact that only 10% of the bulbs I plant ever come up?

TIA

Nuke it. Very little, if any. No.

It is the wet weather. Ignore them - they live on decaying vegetable
matter and rarely cause damage even to seedlings. They are often
found in damaged plant material (e.g. fruit), but it is because
they enter after it has been damaged.

You can buy a powder (chemical) that will deter them from coming into your
house. I use it sparingly across the doorway where they seem to congregate
in my kitchen.
